If you are wondering if our website displays on a 20 year old Windows CE 5.0 "laptop".... Yes. Yes it does.

One of tonight's Norwich Hackspace project was a simple #arduino powered scales. We have some laser cutter templates and code guides if you fancy making one yourself next week! (Bring an elastic band.)

Replaced the flaking faux leather on an old set of headphones with a pair of socks. They still work great and it was an easy fix.

If anyone needs a free WiFi hub, it doesn't matter if you connect these routers directly to the phone line, they can still be used.

Ideally ISP's would stop supplying routers automatically, or at least supply them unlockable.

OFFERED: Collection of routers (Lakenham NR1) https://t.co/W7rVUE6Bvs

@Raspberry_Pi If you any left you need to shift, give some to @PerczUK so we can distribute to members in a RPi mini-jam event in Norwich UK? 😉

Being a Monday, the front door is open. Feel free to pop in, grab a coffee, sniff some solder fumes and munch a bit of sawdust.

[Norwich Hackspace @NHackspace]

@thethingsntwrk in use. Handy for long range Arduino communication stuff.

@Gadgetoid By some... You mean ALL right?

I’ve been wanting to make a clock for a while, another Tim Hunkin inspired project https://t.co/BGqCzyK4aI. @NovAutomation @NHackspace @DrStruthers

Someone brought this in today. Any suggestions to what we should hack it? 🤔

And yes, the highest units setting on it is now much lower than today's average rate. 😨

[Norwich Hackspace @NHackspace]

This gives us so many new project ideas. 😍

[Norwich Hackspace @NHackspace]

Our front door is open. Just saying. #Mondays

And yes that is a lead acid door stop.

Woodworking woes - how was this screw even manufactured? Genuine question.

[Norwich Hackspace @NHackspace]

These next to landmarks and shops should be a Norwich quirk, if it's not something we just haven't noticed. 😍 @NorwichBIDUK?

[Tom Goff @TomGoff10]

I love old tools. This is an old cobblers anvil used as a door stop at my sons school. Probably from one of the old shoe factories in Norwich. ⁦@DrStruthers⁩ ⁦@NHackspace⁩ ⁦@hackaday⁩

Fantastic member project!

[Tom Goff @TomGoff10]

I had a go at building a variable frequency metal detector. Here’s how I did it. https://t.co/4vgtDlSH9Q @NorfolkButton @MetalDetectingU

[Norwich Hackspace @NHackspace]

@Gadgetoid Not really our thing, but we have members (@marionofnorwich) involved in the bis so will pass on. Have you tried @krowgroup in Norfolk Tower?

[JT @jmons]

Is using the bed of my 3d printer as a coffee pot warmer a good or bad idea?

[Norwich Hackspace @NHackspace]

@sirwillpearson Just a guess, but it's saying the connected device is a XBox 360 controller, and the library page says it needs to be a new XBox One? @recantha
